You can encourage people to reply back to the list by including a
Reply-To line in your headers, as I've done with this message.  Some
list software will filter the header, but a Reply-To in the copy of the
message that's sent directly to someone will probably be respected by
their mail client.

Since you use mutt, you might find the following .muttrc lines helpful:

  lists freebsd-questions freebsd-current freebsd-chat
  send-hook questions at freebsd 'my_hdr Reply-To: freebsd-questions at freebsd.org'
  send-hook current at freebsd   'my_hdr Reply-To: freebsd-current at freebsd.org'
  send-hook chat at freebsd      'my_hdr Reply-To: freebsd-chat at freebsd.org'
  ... etc.

This way, you can use the 'L' key to follow up to the list, the 'g' key
to do a group-reply, or the 'r' key to reply just to the sender, and
your headers will include the custom Reply-To for 'L' and 'g'.
